With summer and vacations approaching, its always a MUST to be mindful of caring for your hair extensions! Check out our Summer Hair Care Tips for Extensions!
-
Hydrate Often – Be sure to use a hydrating shampoo, conditioner and deep treatments weekly to combat dryness. Our favs are the Shu Uemura Urban Moisture line or Kerastase Nutritive line.
-
Sun Protection – UV rays fade and weaken extensions. Wear a hat, braid your hair, or use a UV-protectant spray.
-
Prep Before Swimming – Wet your hair and apply leave-in conditioner before jumping into the pool or ocean to prevent absorption of salt and chlorine.
-
Detangle Gently – Use a loop brush (Ergo or Wetbrush are our recommendations) and sleep with your hair in a braid or bun to avoid knots.
-
Limit Heat Styling – Air dry when possible and always use heat protectant when styling. Our favorites are any of the thermiques in Kerastase!
-
Use Lightweight Products – Heavy oils can loosen bonds—opt for lightweight serums on mid-lengths and ends.
-
Sunscreen Smarts – Keep SPF off your hair! Some sunscreens (especially chemical ones) can discolor extensions. Apply carefully or use mineral-based options.
